The machines will work for a month or two.

You must be a very optimistic person...2 months!!! :bunny:

Now stop poking fun at what happens here.

I would be happy if everything installed here works as it should (and without corruption also creeping in). It would help the country to be more secure. But I realize how things go their Dominican way.

If they paid the money makers on a reward scheme only then everything would work first time, constantly and forever. Things just don't work because they don't have to, everyone who is important gets paid either way, and keeps their jobs even if they don't.

If you are connected you can get them done with invisible ink , remember the radar speed detectors ?

From what I can gather is that this was installed and implemented so the PN can keep better track of there officers and there whereabouts.

implementation process is due to start soon, better commit your crimes now: http://www.diariolibre.com/noticias/policia-instalara-sistema-biometrico-CM1439073

The taking of finger prints is very very simple ..it is sending them and storing them that requires equipment , but my view is that the computers here in immigration and in the central bank are working very well and I imagine that the computers storing these finger prints will also work well . I really think there is new young breed of computer experts here that understand all about updates and machine maintenance that will soon change life in the DR for all who do not wish to comply with laws . My concern would be the admission of these prints as evidence in courts.

Hope they get more use than all those breathalysers!

connected with the database of the JCE, who handed the machines to the PN,
the database would include almost everybody from the age 16 and up, including all foreign residents in the country,
because the biometric data(prints and photos) been taken by JCE of everybody who changed his/her old cedula into the new one, and JCE and Immigrations took those data thingies of everybody who renewed a residency card or cedula the last several years.
so they do not look just for known criminals who may have been fingerprinted or not due a prior commited crime,
they can compare fingerprints, found at a crime scene, with the whole database of digital prints available, to also identify any first time offender.
sounds interesting.
time will tell if something of it works here or not.
would be a nice step forwards, if it would.

Have any of you ever been into a police station here? This is definitely money well wasted. I?m trying not to laugh :cheeky::cheeky::cheeky:

 

[dv8]

i have. just few weeks ago, even. interesting experience.

 

[popeye]

Puerto plata they stole all the seats or else they sold them.

 

[dv8]

there were seats when i was there. a bench and few chairs.

 

[popeye]

interesting fact. my brother in law is in charge in the Las Vegas crime lab, even with laser tech, two items that they cannot get prints from. Styrofoam cups plates etc, and 3m double sticky tape. so offer your enemies a Styrofoam drink not a glass
